RAP-5WN Overview
Rear View
Figure 1 Rear View
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet Port
The RAP-5WN has one 10/100/1000Base-T port used wired connectivity.
10/100Base-T Ethernet Ports
The RAP-5WN has four 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) ethernet ports for wired network
connectivity. These are ports 1 through 4.
DC IN (Power Socket)
The device is turned on when the attached power adapter (included) is plugged into
a power source (outlet). The device turns off by unplugging the device from the
power source.
USB Port
The purpose of this USB port is to support Cellular modems.
Reset Button
To reset the RAP-5WN, insert a small, narrow object, such as a pin or paperclip, into
the hole indicated in Figure 1 and press and hold the button while powering on the
RAP-5WN. This will return the device to factory default settings.
LEDs
The RAP-5WN has eight LED status indicators.
z POWER: Indicates whether or not the RAP-5WN is powered on.
z Gigabit Ethernet Port 0: Indicates activity and/or status on this port.
z Fast Ethernet Ports 1-4: Indicates activity and/or status on these ports
z 2.4 GHz Radio: Indicates status of the 2.4 GHz radio
z 5 GHz Radio: Indicates status of the 5 GHz radio.

Connecting the Cables
You must connect the RAP-5WN to a network device that has access to the Internet,
such as a router or modem.
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 cable to port 0 on the RAP-5WN.
2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to a free RJ-45 port on your modem or
router.
3. Attach the provided power adapter to the DC IN port on the RAP-5WN.
4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet.
The POWER LED is lit (solid green) when the RAP-5WN is receiving power.
Verifying Successful Installation
Once the RAP-5WN’s PWR LED has come up and the boot cycle is complete, you
can connect to your company or corporate network.
See the Provisioning at Home section if you are unable to connect
NOTE
successfully.
Provisioning at Home
If your IT administrator instructed you to provision your RAP-5WN, complete the
following steps after the RAP-5WN has been powered.
1. Connect one end of a second RJ-45 cable to port 1 on the RAP-5WN and the
other end to your computer.
2. Open a web browser and navigate to any URL.
3. An Aruba web page will appear (see Figure 4), requesting the IP address of the
master controller. Enter the IP address provided to you by your IT
administrator.
The RAP-5WN will connect to the designated master controller and download the
necessary provisioning information. When the RAP-5WN comes back up, it is ready
to use.
Contact your IT administrator if you are still unable to connect successfully.
